boycott racist Arizona and spend your convention and tourist dollars in states that don't have racism at the heart of their policy.

We are each burdened with prejudice; against the poor or the rich, the smart or the slow, the gaunt or the obese. It is natural to develop prejudices. It is noble to rise above them.~Author Unknown

Why am I not surprised that the FOX NEW's Jesus loving Christian hypocrite Sarah Palin is supporting the despicable policy of Arizona. If she supports their racist policy I know it is wrong. Arizona is couching anti Mexican discrimination in terms of obeying the law and doing what the federal government can't but lets call a spade a spade, it is discrimination. Many Americans take advantage of these illegals and use them as virtual slave labor. They have little of no protection under the law and are routinely exploited. Yet when economic times get tough they are the first ones we go after, the perfect scapegoats. In truth they take away very few jobs from Americans, and the work they do take most Americans refuse to do.The current call for a boycott of Arizona by hispanic and latino groups is a wake up for that state and has caused a ground swell of outraged Americans who see Arizona's actions for what it is, discrimination against brown people from Mexico. Democrat and liberal groups have spoken out in opposition to Arizona's policy and have been joined by many Republicans who have substantial latino and hispanic constituents.Yes the law of the land is not being enforced but maybe it is unenforceable. It is time that the federal government take the lead on this and a reasonable approach be designed and implemented by people without alterer motives. So for now lets boycott racist Arizona and spend your convention and tourist dollars in states that don't have racism at the heart of their policy.

John; We are all citizens of Arizona where they differ from other states not geographically challenged by proximity to the border. It is the federal government that has failed in not protecting the border and settling immigration questions with transparent law. During the 1960's and 1970's southern towns paid for bus service to NYC for blacks who filled welfare rolls. Could there be any better analogy showcasing how no-one dislikes Americans more than other Americans across all races, religions and barriers. As long as Arizona pays for the Mexican immigrant go ahead and pack them in. Doc Grahme.
